Rafael
Brom was born in Prague (formerly Czechoslovakia, but now called the Czech Republic)
on August 13, 1952. He was born into a musical family. His mother was a popular
professional singer, pianist, composer, and dancer. His father was an outstanding
piano player and composer and grandfather was considered a musical virtuoso.

In
1963, Rafael emigrated to Sarajevo. While in Sarajevo, Rafael studied several
levels of Graphics Arts and Design, Communication Arts, and Fine Arts. He was
a student of several well-known Academy professors and international graphic
artists. After completing his education, Rafael worked full-time for an energy
company as a graphics designer. He did this to support his mother and brother.

With
the help of his father, Libor,
and Senator Armstrong, Rafael emigrated to the United States in 1979. Upon arriving
in the United States, Rafael worked for several energy companies as a graphics
illustrator. He dedicated his free time to music, painting, illustrations and
helping his father publishing books.

In
1983, Rafael released his first 12" vinyl record, 'Rafael Brom I'. This recording
is now included on 'Dance for
Padre Pio'. This album received significant airplay on public and college
radio stations in the USA and Canada. After the release of this album, Rafael
became a member of ASCAP. He received a special ASCAP award a few years later.

While
living in Sugar Land, Rafael developed and designed a new distribution and publishing
company, Marianland.com. This is now
the largest Roman Catholic Marian Pro-Life resource web site on the Internet.
This company distributes and publishes some of the world's finest Catholic and
Christian videos, books, music, and church supplies.

Upon
request from Hollywood film director Kurt
James Stefka, Rafael scored the original sound track to Kurt’s movie
“Crossroads of the World” few tunes for this movie published on
Rafael’s best selling albums 'Music
for Peace of Mind'. Recently, Rafael was asked to perform original score
again for Mr. Stefka’s new company Story Driven Pictures which produced
a video production of the Nutcracker in 2008 for The Reno Dance Company. Rafael’s
unique music score was extremely successful in the video production as it juxtaposed
splendidly with the music score by Tchaikovsky. Film director and producer Olivier
Tomecek (brother) also used some of Rafael's music from "Angelophany"
and "Dance for Padre Pio" record albums in his documentary film "Mala
prica o Dolini blagoslova".
